<snip>
using -static in CFLAGS is stupid

Anything unclear about the message?

[Comment 4 Armin Mohring 2007-10-26 09:10:46 UTC]

-s suppresses the compiler output. Not static.

[Comment 5 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-10-26 09:17:06 UTC]

So, you want to tell us that the following produces a match on your system?!

echo "-mtune=k8 -march=k8 -O2 -msse2 -m80387 -pipe -s" | egrep -e -static

[Comment 6 Armin Mohring 2007-10-26 09:45:44 UTC]

By the way:

-mtune: ABI and scheduling
-march: architecture
-O2: optimization level 2
-msse2: enables mmx, mmxext, 3dnow,..., msse2
-m80387: enables 80387
-pipe: pipie
-s: supresses compiler output

[Comment 7 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-10-26 09:57:13 UTC]

I can read `man gcc` just fine, thanks. :) On that note, -msse2 is implied by -march=k8. ;)

Now, could you answer comment #5 instead?

[Comment 8 Armin Mohring 2007-10-26 10:58:37 UTC]

Answer to comment#5:

yes, of course.

Well, then you have pretty screwed grep. Which version do you have installed? 

[Comment 10 Armin Mohring 2007-10-26 14:50:37 UTC]

Which version of what?

[Comment 11 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-10-26 18:19:14 UTC]

> Which version of what?

Of sys-apps/grep of course.

[Comment 12 Armin Mohring 2007-10-31 05:45:03 UTC]

version of grep: 2.5.1a-r1.

It is not possible to update grep to ~amd64 (version 2.5.3)

Wrong.
From the man page
-s  Remove all symbol table and relocation information from the executable.

In other words you probably don't need that as FEATURES handling the striping.

Which man page: man page of ld or gcc?

[Comment 16 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-10-31 07:54:37 UTC]

man gcc of course, pretty easy to check :) Not that it'd be much different w/ ld (omit all symbol information from the output file). If you want less noise, stick -s to MAKEOPTS, not to C[XX]FLAGS/LDFLAGS.

Not that it'd make your egrep any less broken...

[Comment 17 Armin Mohring 2007-11-01 06:53:27 UTC]

I am using the ld for linking.
The command -s in CFLAGS is correct.

[Comment 18 SpanKY 2007-11-01 18:58:51 UTC]

-s in CFLAGS is still stupid as all stripping is done for you already

rather than all this indirect bs, state clearly ... what does this show on your system:

echo "-mtune=k8 -march=k8 -O2 -msse2 -m80387 -pipe -s" | egrep -e -static
echo $?

if you get "0" instead of "1", then try in LC_ALL=C.  if you still get "0", then rebuild grep without retarded flags:
CFLAGS=""
LDFLAGS=""

[Comment 19 Armin Mohring 2007-11-02 07:38:17 UTC]

O.K. I have removed -s from CFLAGS.
